The ruble is worth so little that $32k in Russia is like a billion dollars at this point.

Google declined to comment. However, there’s little that Moscow can do to collect the fine.

Lol

Especially with the low dollar figure, this doesn’t sound like anything anyone expects to correspond to reality – more just a lower-court judge who doesn’t want to get in trouble and so is being publicly obedient to how we all agree it is (враньё).

I don’t know exact numbers but I feel like $32K is like them fining me a nickel.

Google made 279 billion dollars in 2022. By my calculations $32,000 is about .0000001147% of 279 billion dollars.

So if someone made $50,000 in 2022 then this fine would be like .007 cents to them. So way less than a penny. Geez.

ETA: Corrected math, was off by 2 zeros on the percentage.

This feels like an accurate comparison, maybe they forgot how badly the ruble declined?

I do get a Dr. Evil “One million dollars” vibe from this.

Hey, do you want them to up that to 4 million rubles? Keep talking that way and it’s coming. Then they’ll really feel it.
